White reporters barred from press event in Savannah mayoral race
The new bigotry: White reporters were barred from entering or reporting on a press event involving black challengers to the present white Savannah mayor.
Race was front and center on Wednesday night during a meeting coordinated to garner support for just one black candidate in Savannah’s mayoral election.
With signs stating “Black press only” on the doors of the church where the meeting was held, white reporters were barred from entry, while black reporters for at least two television stations were permitted inside.
The event was coordinated by the Rev. Clarence Teddy Williams, owner of the consulting firm, The Trigon Group, who declined to discuss the entry policy.
The black reporters who did attend appeared to be working to coordinate their activities with the candidates in order to help pick a candidate who could win, something that it is totally inappropriate for reporters to do.
The article conveniently does not mention the party to which the candidates all belonged, but since these are all challenging the present Republican mayor, it seems reasonable to assume they were all Democrats. This conclusion is also reasonable considering the bigoted nature of that party these days.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

Absolutely incredible!
Affirmative action has its consequences?

An interesting black perspective, sounds like it fits here in connection to this subject, no black reporter should attend any event where whites or any other race reporter was banned from. So you must ask why are they complicit?
Is it too paranoid that this story seems aligned with the dropping of the Jussie Smollet charges?
Focused race based outrages pushed into the media designed to outrage the two races against one another, ala Obama and other community organizing tactics?
Cotour: I expect your are correct!
More fuel for the racial fire?

Keep the races as best as you can divided and at odds. Even Mayor Rham Emanuel had to back track on his outrage at the Jussie Smollett fake gay / racist / MAGA attack. Emanuel had to make a statement that basically blamed trump for Smolletts actions.
Trump made him do it. Everything in the Liberal / Leftist world is built on a lie and lying. Good luck with that, you are all enraging the true and rational people of America. And for the most part it eclipses party affiliation and the subconscious push button political rhetoric.
The law does not apply to D’s especially black D’s. 8 yrs of 44 lurking around the Whitehouse with his pal Larry Sinclair illustrated that. Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover , and sometimes ya gotta call a spade a shovel.
